Thank you, Mr. Chair.

I thank the minister for being here and also for her kind words about me.

I thank the minister for her kind words about my appointment, although I didn't ask for the job. Everybody knows my position on that. We are in this mess because of others, and the burden shouldn't be on indigenous people to fix the problem.

In any case, it's called team work. That is why I'm here today.

I want to start with a point that you mentioned at the outset of your presentation. You said that the 2% cap is now lifted. Can you tell me when that happened?
